When business apps become agents

Microsoft’s vision meets the reality of ERP.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has said that business applications will eventually “collapse into agents”. In this episode of Future Bytes, Magnus Oxenwaldt speaks with Fredrik Sætre, who owns a Global Black Belt for Microsoft Autonomous AI ERP, about what that shift really means. Not in theory, but in practice. Especially for ERP. 

Highlights from the episode: 

  • ERP is not disappearing. The interface is. 
  • Agents sit on top of deterministic financial systems. 
  • ERP is harder than CRM. Mistakes affect money, tax, and compliance. 
  • The real constraint is adoption, not technology.
